The letter that claimed that Karni Sena has withdrawn the protest against Padmaavat.<\/p><\/div>\n
He added Rajput Karni Sena doesn\u2019t have to do anything with the organization that has withdrawn the protest.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have come to know the existence of at least eight organizations that are now claiming to be Karni Sena,\u201d said Kalvi.<\/p>\n
An organization named Sri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena \u2013 Maharashtra had written to the production house of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, stating that the ongoing protest against the movie was being withdrawn.<\/p>\n
The letter referred to Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, a Rajput community leader as its president and stated that with his consent, the organization was withdrawing the protest. Gogamedi was however later quoted as saying in Jaipur that the protest hadn\u2019t been withdrawn and any member of the organization who was involved in preparing this letter was being suspended with immediate effect.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe watched the movie on February 2. We are produce to say that the movie beautifully portrays the bravery and sacrifices of the Rajputs. This film is dedicated to the larger than life character of Padmavati and doesn\u2019t have any scene with the queen and Khilji that can hurt the sentiments of the community, so we are withdrawing the protest,\u201d said the letter.<\/p>\n
